Title: Making a server
Post by: sam19 on June 24, 2014, 08:50:08 PM
hi everyone,

i know this question has been asked and i have used my brain and searched for it but all i want to know is:

1. i have an old PC can i use this to make a gaming server for hosting games?
2. does the pc need to be a high spec gaming pc with a good graphics card?
3. does the pc need to have a licence?
4. i know it needs the latest software and all the different classes/kart skins and tracks installed
5. the pc is running xp does it need to be windows 7 to run beta11?

so what else do i need to know, i saw that i will need to open the ports

or so next set of questions.

does the server pc need to be connected to my gaming pc I'm currently running everything off?
is it better over wifi or ethernet?
once i have opened up the ports do i just go on and click host world?

-no
-ethernet cable of course for a server (lower ping and much more stable connection)
